Taking Alpha's Twins Away After Divorce

Chapter 65

Natalia's POV

As soon as I heard him say such gibberish, a sharp pain shot through my left side of the chest. I could not even place my hand over it since I was staring at the cruel man in front of me.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Just now, I was thinking about thanking him for saving my life. But the reality was that this man was nothing but a scumbag.

He was talking something like this about me and my brother. How ridiculous!

There was no way I would reveal my identity to him. However, what was his problem with me being with another man? Why was he assuming things? He even accused me of getting the cure by sleeping with another man!

"Cat caught your tongue? Oh, wait. What am I even expecting from you? A justification for sleeping with another alpha?"

I closed my eyes and tightened my fists around the white hospital bed sheet. I felt the fabric rough against my fingers. My nails almost pierced my skin while penetrating the white sheet.

Calm down. Don't lose your temper.' I told myself.

After opening my eyes, I saw he was still standing there, as though waiting for my reply. Despite his nonsense accusations, did he really think I would say something to him about it? Nevertheless, I was not his slave who would have to give justifications for every single action.

"I told you it's a misunderstanding. But if you still want to believe in your own cooking stories, then I can not do anything about it," I said to him.

I thought my voice would come out strong, but the accident made me very weak. My throat felt parched.

I looked at the glass of water that was set down next to the bed. I tried to lift my right hand but failed to do that. I was unable to get the glass to quench my thirst.

On the other hand, Adrian's eyes were fixed on me. Instead of helping me, he stood next to the edge, where I could reach out and touch the glass.

I raised my head and looked at him. His face was fiercer. It reminded me of the opposite look of his, which I confronted last night. Though I was in a haze at the time, I could see a little worry in his eyes after the accident. Perhaps it was only my illusion.

How could this man feel worried for me? Wasn't it an impossible thing? But then, why did he come to save me? He could have left me to perish and watch the scenario with his own eyes.

"What do you want from me?" I asked, feeling agitated.

I noticed him putting his hands into the pockets of his pants as he observed my expressions.

Could he not understand that I was thirsty? If he could not do anything, then at least help me get the glass.

"You can't give me anything. I know why you did it. You just wanted to show me that you were doing me a favor. Am I right?" he asked.

"What?"

"Don't act innocent. This body..." He paused and pointed his finger at my body with a cold look on his face, then continued.

'This body is good for nothing to me. You are no longer attractive. Who knows how many men have touched it in the past few years?"

Hearing his filthy statements, I wanted the ground to move so that I could bury myself.

Tears started to shuffle around the comers of my eyes. My heart was beating faster. It was not because of the mate bond or the nearness of my mate. The reason behind it was that my heart could not take it anymore.

I gathered up my breath and asked, "If this is what you think about me, then why did you save me? Why didn't you just let me die? Did you also want to show me your favor?"

He appeared to be stunned by my question. It was clear that he did not expect me to talk back with a confident tone. Why would I not talk like that? I didn't do anything wrong.

"You still have the audacity!" he muttered while gritting his teeth.

His eyes were demonstrating the fury that was seething inside him.

But I was confused as to why he was angry. He did that too when he saw Eric with me. How could I forget how he reacted when he saw me with Harold at the cafe? And now, his next target was Jason.

If I tried to guess, only one thing came to mind. Either he was conscious of his reputation, or he wanted me to live a life under his command.

Simply put, he wanted to play with my life as if I were his toy. If he wanted me to breathe, I would breathe.

"Stop acting innocent in front of me. Does that man know your reality? Or he was the one who approached you since he realized what type of woman you are. How can you cheat a beta with his own alpha? Do you have a little shame left inside you, Natalia?" he asked while shaking his head.

Tears streamed out of my cheeks. I tried to wipe them while averting my gaze from the ruthless man. But once again, I forgot about my wounded hand. I bit my bottom lip, trying to control my scream of pain.

"I'm regretting that I accepted your help for my dad. I regret saving a woman like you last night."

The moment the last sentence left his mouth, I felt my heart clench inside.

So he was regretting saving me?

I slowly lifted my head and met his gaze again. Adrian frowned at me and bent down toward me. His face almost touched mine, which made me move my head a little back.

Abruptly, his strong hand grabbed the back of my neck. I shut my eyes in misery. Because I had my head bandaged, the feeling of his palm moving toward my neck sent a stab of pain to the back of my head.

I did not let out a single word. My eyes were focused on his eyes, which were full of animosity for me.

'Do you know what I want right now? I want to kill you here, in this hospital bed."

My heart froze because of his words. My wolf also heard his intentions toward us. It was kind of a closure to her that he did not care for us.

With teary eyes, I glared at him.

"You are not my Alpha, and I should not be bound to give an explanation about my actions. I can be with anyone! want, and you are no longer my husband to stop me. Just wait for the moment when I leave your pack, Alpha Adrian. Because soon you will regret what you are saying right now."
